Main winches serviced to today as when went to spin one
it was stuck. Did release easy and spin when winch handle put in. The problem
was some salt air had got into then and the large roller cage bearings the drum
runs on had some salt residue on them. Being a Lewmar winch these bearings are
installed dry. Washed them in fresh water and cleaned the drum housings. All the
cogs and pawls were still operating correctly and still lightly oiled and grease
on the cogs. The winches on top of coaming all operating perfectly.
Did a run out on the bike to get some more cable to
finish the pedestal USB wire install. Will finish that during the
week.
Weather wise today the first time in weeks that we have
had clear skies over us all day. Brilliant.
